About Chiropody and Podiatry
Three out of every four adults have foot problems, though most people are born with normal feet. Some of these problems (though very few) are inherited, some result from illness which develop in middle and old age, but most are caused by wearing ill-fitting shoes.
​
Although our feet may be the most downtrodden parts of our bodies, they are the basis for an active and independent lifestyle for everyone from the age of one onward
​
Mobility and therefore independence is essential to our quality of life and should not be regarded as a luxury but unfortunately for many, immobility resulting in lack of independence is all too common.
​
The majority of us suffer back, hip, knee, or ankle pain at some point in our lives and this often starts with a foot problem.
​
Proper care and attention is as important at an early age to ensure correct growth as it is in later life to keep feet functioning well!
